Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!
Below are two albums of pictures that I created:
1. Our grand daughter Adrianna.
2. Tears of Mary!

Immediately after the apparition that Ivan received in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna on November 15, 2014, Ivan was invited to share about his encounter with Our Lady. Here is what Ivan shared:

After every encounter with Our Lady it is very hard to speak. It is not easy after an encounter with Our Lady to return to this world, to the reality of this world. It is hard to find so beautiful words in this world to be able to describe the beauty of the encounter with Our Lady. It is true that every day when Our Lady comes to us she brings to us a piece of heaven. What is the most difficult for me to describe in the encounter with Our Lady is the love with which Our Lady loves us all. So with the words that I have I would like to share with you what is most important in the encounter this evening.

Also today Our Lady came to us joyful and happy. She greeted us all with her motherly greeting: "Praised be Jesus, My dear children." After that she extended her hands and prayed in a special way over all you priests who are present here. After that Our Lady prayed in a special way for this diocese. After that Our Lady prayed over all of you here who are sick and she said, "Dear children also today I would like to invite you to pray for families and young people. Dear children, pray for the holiness within the family. Mother is praying together with you. And is interceding for all of you before her Son. Thank you my dear children for having responded to my call."

After that our Lady blessed all of us with her motherly blessing and blessed all of those articles that you brought her for blessing.

After that I recommended all of you to Our Lady, all of your needs, all of your desires. All of your families. In a special way I have recommended all of the sick to Our Lady. After that there was a conversation between me and Our Lady that stays only between us, between me and Our Lady. And after that Our Lady left in the light of the Cross with the greeting, "Go in peace my dear children."

So this is the most important out of tonight's encounter with Our Lady. Now I would like to emphasize that Our Lady spent much time tonight speaking about holiness in families. We need to pray for that and for the young people.

Two days ago Our Lady gave a message through me to the world. Let us listen to the message that Our Lady gave.

"Dear children, also today I am inviting you to pray. My dear children, pray in a special way for all who still do not know God's love. Pray that their hearts open to my Son and to the Heart of my Son. Only in that way is it possible to convert. Thank you my dear children that you have responded to my call." (November 13, 2014 through Ivan)

So that is the most important of my encounter with Our Lady and I hope that we will all open to Our Lady's call and we will start to pray more. In a special way to start to pray more in our families. And that you will all say that big "yes" to Our Lady! Thank you!

What a joy it was to be present (through the internet) for Our Lady's apparition to Ivan in St. Stephen's. I felt so much the presence of Our Lady that day. Let's respond to Our Lady's call through Ivan to pray for holiness in families and to pray for all those who do not know the love of Jesus. Together we can make a difference, as we follow our Mother.

PS. Fruit of Medjugorje Episode # 140 aired last night and hopefully will be posted on our home page soon. It is the story of Kiera, a young girl who had very serious cancer. You don't want to miss this beautiful witness to the presence and love of Our Lady in Medjugorje.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

I pray you enjoy my ministry!Below is a slide show of pictures that I have collected: Tears of Mary!

Have a look!

Jeremiah 14:17; 15:18

"Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the Virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with an exceedingly grievous evil. / Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed?"

Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia, et ubi ecclesia vita eterna

Where Peter is, there is the Church, where the Church is there is Eternal Life

About Me

I'm 80, formally married to Marianne for 52 years, [Marianne passed away to the Lord on August 9th, 2013 after suffering a stroke and two cardiac arrests.] We have 4 children (plus 2 in heaven-stillborn) and nine grandchildren plus 1 Step-grandchild. I'm a Korean War Vet, U.S. Navy; I was a Motorcycle News Courier for U.P.I., and WNEW Chanel 5 TV News, during 60's & 70's; a Lieutenant in the Wycoff Hospital Police in the 90's. I was ordained a Permanent Deacon for the Brooklyn Diocese on April 25, 1987 and served in four parishes before relocating to Florida in 2002. I'm still incardinated for Brooklyn Diocese. There was no parish in my town so we traveled to either Mt. Dora or Eustis for Mass. My oldest son and daughter, John and Anne, lived near us but the rest of the gang are up North in New York and Pennsylvania. We have now relocated to a northern state and my ministry is mostly on the Internet with some blogs and groups. I also assist the pastor at the local Catholic church. I owe my life and conversion/calling to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel de Garabandal, who has brought me to her Son Jesus. I am Their servant and slave! I only want to do the Will of God and glorify the Most Blessed Trinity with my life!

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;let me never be put to shame!In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,to which I may continually come;you have given the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.For you, O Lord, are my hope,my trust, O Lord, from my youth.Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother's womb.My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;those who watch for my life consult togetherand say, “God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him,for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;with scorn and disgrace may they be coveredwho seek my hurt.

But I will hope continuallyand will praise you yet more and more.My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,of your deeds of salvation all the day,for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,O God, do not forsake me,until I proclaim your might to another generation,your power to all those to come.Your righteousness, O God,reaches the high heavens.You who have done great things,O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamitieswill revive me again;from the depths of the earthyou will bring me up again.You will increase my greatnessand comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harpfor your faithfulness, O my God;I will sing praises to you with the lyre,O Holy One of Israel.My lips will shout for joy,when I sing praises to you;my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointedwho sought to do me hurt.

Welcome to my Marian Blog

As you can tell from my postings, I'm in love with Mother Mary, who has taken me under her mantle of protection, has taught and led me to Her Divine Son, Jesus; Who in turn has led me, in the Holy Spirit, to the Eternal Father! Two prayers that I say often tell who I am:Come O Holy Spirit; Come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved Spouse.

O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee. My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
